Making Dental Care Accessible, Convenient, and Connected
Founded in 2018 by Dr. Arash Hakhamian, DDS, Dentulu was built on a simple but powerful insight: traditional dental care is broken. Limited access, inconvenient office hours, high costs, and anxiety keep millions of people from getting the care they need. We decided to fix that.
Dentulu is the first on-demand mobile dental app—a platform that combines virtual consultations, mobile dentistry services, and AI-assisted diagnostics into one seamless experience. We're not replacing your dentist. We're making dental care work around your life, not the other way around.
Our vision is to pioneer a future where dental care is as accessible as texting your doctor, as convenient as ordering a ride, and as trustworthy as a licensed professional in your corner. For patients seeking care and dental professionals seeking to grow their practice, Dentulu is the platform that makes it possible.

Why Choose Dentulu
We've built the only platform that combines the convenience patients need with the tools providers want. Here's what sets us apart.
First On-Demand Mobile Dental App
We pioneered the space in 2018. Not a traditional office offering teledentistry—we built the entire platform around mobile-first, on-demand access. Get care when you need it, not when an office is open.
Dual Marketplace for Patients & Providers
Patients get access to a network of licensed dentists. Providers get a patient acquisition channel that actually works. We connect both sides on one platform—no middleman, no friction.
Virtual Consultations + Mobile Dentistry Services
Choose how you want care delivered. Video consultations for emergencies and second opinions. Mobile dentists for hands-on treatment. Both available in the same app—flexibility that traditional offices can't match.
AI-Assisted Diagnostics & X-Ray Review
Our AI technology helps review X-rays and identify oral health issues with clinical accuracy. Faster diagnosis, more informed treatment plans, better outcomes. Technology that augments, not replaces, expert dentists.
ONC-Certified & HIPAA-Compliant
We meet the highest standards for security and clinical validation. Your data is encrypted, protected, and compliant with healthcare regulations. Trust isn't a feature—it's built into every layer.
Founded by Dr. Arash Hakhamian, DDS
Built by a dentist, not a tech company trying to understand dentistry. Dr. Hakhamian brings decades of clinical experience and won the Incisal Edge 40 Under 40 award. Clinical expertise is embedded in every decision.
How We Compare
vs. Traditional offices: We offer same-day access and at-home convenience. No waiting weeks for an appointment or taking time off work.
vs. Other teledentistry platforms: We're the only platform combining virtual consultations with mobile dentistry delivery. We also support providers with a full marketplace and practice tools.
vs. generic health apps: We're built specifically for dentistry, by dentists, with AI and clinical validation. Not a one-size-fits-all platform diluted across multiple specialties.
